Mr Lisbon put the house on the market...
1:23:03
..and it was sold to
a young couple from Boston.
1:23:06
We, ofcourse, took the family photos
that were put out with the trash.
1:23:10
(clock ticking)
1:23:13
We had pieces ofthe puzzle, but however
we put them together, gaps remained -
1:23:19
..oddly shaped emptiness,
mapped by what surrounded them...
1:23:22
..like countries we couldn't name.
1:23:28
What lingered after them was not life,
but the most trivial list ofmundane facts.
1:23:37
..a clock ticking on the wall,...
1:23:40
..a room dim at noon,...
1:23:44
..the outrageousness ofa human being
thinking only ofherself.
1:23:53
We began the impossible process
of trying to forget them.
1:24:03
Our parents seemed
better able to do this,...
1:24:06
..returning to their tennis foursomes
and cocktail cruises...
1:24:09
..as though they'd seen this all before.
1:24:12
It was full-fledged summer again, over
a year since Cecilia had slit her wrists,...
1:24:18
..spreading the poison in the air.
1:24:20
A spill at the plant
increased the phosphates in the lake...
1:24:23
..and produced a scum ofalgae so thick
that the swamp smell filled the air,...
1:24:28
..infiltrating the genteel mansions.
1:24:31
Debutantes cried over the misfortune
of coming out in a season...
1:24:35
..everyone would remember
for its bad smell.
1:24:38
The O'Conners, however,
came up with the ingenious solution...
1:24:42
..of making the theme oftheir daughter
Alice's debutante party "Asphyxiation".
1:24:46
Like everyone else,
we went to forget about the Lisbon girls.
1:24:51
(woman) She'll give him a heart attack!
